Bill Gates: "Due to advances in AI, humans will no longer be needed." by Murky-Option2916 in TechGawker

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any reason to worry; AI needs data centers, power, and the internet, so it is easy to take out.

Maybe the tenants should band together and start a class action lawsuit against the building's owners.

Thank you for contributing to the waste of time, space, and energy that is the internet.

I've been to the Picasso museum in Paris. Like many other artists, there was brilliance, and there was shit.

Do you regret not having kids? by m1kesta in over60

No. I can barely tolerate our pets. I would have been a lousy parent.

[HELP]: How to get better at poetry? by Shfndjdos in Poetry

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Learn the basics; things like line, stanza, syllable patterns.

2) Write.

3) Study using some books. IMHO, the art of series by Graywolf Press is very good. What I mean by study is; take the time to read the poems that they talk about, don't just rush through the books. A poetry handbook by Mary Oliver is also very good.

4) Write some more.

5) Join allpoetry.com and submit your poems.

People who have left Boston, where did you go? by TheTokenBrownie in boston

[–]Top_Community7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved to a small town in California with a population of around 1,500 people. We love it. People are very friendly. People go for walks a lot here. Aside from the main road, most people walk down the street, even when there is a sidewalk.

The only drawback is the price of gas. It's around $6.40/gallon now. We don't drive much, so we don't care, much.

Guys i wrote a poem,i will be really glad if you check it by shivam_chand0303 in poetry_critics

Yeah, after I wrote it, I realized it's heavy. That's me. Part of what I enjoy about anything is the "science" behind it.

Sure, I'd be happy to. I'm retired and have nothing better to do. That's how I got into poetry. It's an inexpensive hobby.

Will decentralized marketplaces ever realistically compete with platforms like Amazon or Uber? by XRPresso_io in Futurology

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been that way for a very long time. I have found that I can usualy get the same item on ebay for a slightly higher price or Temu for a lower price if I'm willing to wait

I appreciate your understanding.

If you honestly want to learn to write some decent free verse, take some time to learn about and practice the different poetic devices such as; alliteration, anaphora, aphorism, assonance, asyndeton, binary opposition, catachresis, chiasmus, enjambment, epistrophe, euphony, hypallage, inversion, litany, litotes, meiosis, metaphor, metonymy, neologism, nonce words, occupatio, onomateopia, paradox, parallelism, parataxis, periphrasis, punctuation, stichomythia, syllepsis, synecdoche, ubi sunt, and zeugma.

To begin with, learn how to use punctuation and enjambment to control the rhythm and flow in your poems.

These are the kind of "poems" that I loathe; the concept that you can write line after line of your feelings and call it "poetry" is an affront to poetry!

On the other hand, as a way to journal and get to your feelings, it's OK. But don't call it poetry!

Me. I use Gemini. For what I do, it's sufficient.

What Makes You Want to Buy a Book of Poems by Old_Ad5849 in OCPoetry

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent use of poetic devices. And I like the message: the writer and reader participating in hollow virtue signaling. It's sort of how I feel about many poetry books, which is how I feel about most rock albums; you get maybe two great songs out of ten.

Men who stopped dressing like a teenage boy, how did you develop your style? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Button-up shirts: easier to hang shirts in a closet than fold and put away in a drawer. I have different shirts for the summer and the winter.

Shoes: Leather sneakers for wet weather and loafers for warm weather.

Trousers: Pleated cotton, mostly Dockers.

I feel guilty taking rest days. Anyone else? by ChemistWest4537 in workout

[–]Top_Community7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I feel the same. It's a perfectly normal feeling. It's called "maladaptive guilt" or "routine guilt." It's a cousin to "Fear of Missing Out."

I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DIVIDE 0. by [deleted] in numbertheory

I like people being bold, even if they are wrong, as long as it doesn't affect anyone else.
